Subject: What happened?

Written By: ChuckyG on 09/07/06 at 9:52 pm

I took care of it.  Don't give this clown any attention.  Just a useless script kiddie.  I'm sure he feels like a big man, but anyone could do what he did by just following some simple directions.

I was one patch behind on the messageboard software.  Fortunately I did a backup just a few days ago, so nothing was lost.

The tech support people at my hosting company were useless.  Just kept me on hold forever and then told me there was nothing they could help me with.  Gee, thanks guys.

I was online when it happened.. and I just about had a panic attack thinking I lost my beloved Inthe00s!

^ I'll second that!

Glad nothing was lost though, and that the site's okay  :)

I am glad nothing was lost.  I kept thinking that maybe people would lose some posts.  A board I used to belong to got hacked one day, and when it came back, everyone had lost every post they'd made within a month :o

Ah, I got pretty scared, but knew Chucky'd fix it right up... Thanks, yo.

The second message was from me.  When I logged in and saw what happened, I made sure to remove their message ASAP.  These losers thrive on getting confirmation screenshots of captured sites.  The longer it was up, the more they get to brag.

It's a Turkish group, all using the same script.  One person figured it out, the rest were just lame and used it.

I removed the threads people started, because I don't want them to receive a lot of attention.

I admit, I was a little worried myself.....I thought my computer was going to get effed up! 



Glad to see Chucky was on the case and got everything fixed up.  Cheers to Chucky!

Back when I switched to YaBB, someone discovered the default admin account was never de-activated and removed every message. My backup restored all but the last four months or so.  I've gotten better about backups, but I'd still lose a lot if they hit at the wrong time.

Yeah, he was a part of a hacking site, which gave instructions on hacking, from beginners to more advanced hacking. And they were TURKISH? I came pretty close with Arabic, then  ;D

Yeah I was worried something like that would give me a virus.

Don't worry, I have the file they uploaded and there's nothing dangerous in it (no javascript, or Active-X exploits). Fairly tame kiddie stuff.  Could have been much worse.

I ran a spyware scan and a virus scan immediately.. I'm curious what messages did they post?

It was some text picture of some sort of head. It had "Hacx" written all over.

Never a bad idea.  If you got something, and it's probably not from the hack though.

Nice work ChuckyG. You took care of it pretty quickly.

Yep.  Thanks ChuckyG!  I admit it kinda freaked me out at first and like the others, I feared for my (and everyone else's) computer's safety.  But, yay, we're back on track.  Good Job!

That's been going around a lot, apparently. Another board I look at got hacked and the boards it was affiliated with got hacked as well.

Just some loser people who suck balls and have to destroy other people's hard work.

The site got hacked at about 9:30 last night.  With the time difference, most UK'ers would have been sleeping.  Chucky was able to fix it and the site didn't lose anything.

I know I didn't last night.  It didn't take me long to fix, but I spent hours backing up the rest of the server.  I've made hundreds of changes to amiwrong in the week since the last backup and was totally freaked out I may have lost them.  Then once it was all done, I couldn't get back to sleep.  I'm a total wreck today.

;D I usually sleep from 3am - 11:30am, but I wanted to stay up to see that everything was gonna get sorted, and get sorted it did  :)

Yep. The board is back to normal, and we're now much better prepared if something like that (or even worse) ever happened, because chucky's backed up the boards

that face was very demonic. and it was MADE out of the word haczx.  at first glance i thought it was either a hack or i had been banned for some reason. luckily i have the aim of one of the other members. i thought the whole site may have been destroyed. but what can i say? i know nothing about hacking.

Yes the image certainly was sinister-looking.  And they left a email address on it too.  I just Yahoo=ed it and the very first hit that comes up is actually inthe002.com.  >:(

I wonder if these guys can be prosecuted in Turkey for their destructive ways? ???
